Caritas Bangladesh is providing drinking water to dwellers of the southern coastal region and has even opened the gates of its offices so that people can get drinking water from there.
The problem of a shortage of drinking water due to salinity in the region has been exacerbated by the drying up of ponds and other water sources during the dry season.
